Technorati Takes Tags Global (Ross Mayfield):

So just think about the emergent intelligence mechanism we are creating with a neural network overlaid on the net. Considered blog posts gain authority through link attention. Consensual wiki pages gain authority over time. Links and snapshots bridge across places, physical and virtual. Tags are applied in the blink of an eye and patterns emerge from the crowd.

Ross Mayfield discusses Technorati's announcement that they now support a tagging feature similar to Flickr and del.icio.us.
